Phingaz Presents: This Month In Sound March & April

This is a very special This Month In Sound – It focus on one member of Background Noise Crew, T.Q.D.

T.Q.D stands for The Quiet Dude – which is actually a very unfitting name.  Out of the whole Background Noise Crew he stands only second to myself for recorded/released material.  So apparently he has plenty to say.  I met T.Q.D early in my move to Minneapolis.  We connected and began working on a few random songs that eventually made their way onto his debut album Not Yet. Shortly after releasing that album, we took at stab at a duo project – cleverly titled Green Sketch.  The original Green Sketch sessions merited over 20 jams.  Only 9 made it to our debut album So Long, For Now. The rest were broken down, beat up, re-invented and re-surfaced onto T.Q.D’s second album Clench, Grit, Breathe.

I am proud to give you all the last of T.Q.D’s lost songs -

Jackhammer Pt. 1 & 2

Sleet

Ok. . . I’m Done Now

Jackhammer Pt. 1 & 2 is half produced by me and half by T.Q.D himself.

Sleet is one of the earliest recordings we did for the Green Sketch EP.

Ok. . . I’m Done Now was apart of those same early recordings.  The trumpet is played by one amazing musician, Anthony Phan.  You can catch him HERE!!

ENJOY THIS MONTH IN SOUND FOR APRIL HERE!!!

Hello All!!!  I know its REALLY late – but here is my Month In Sound!!

Sinthesis

10001 and Don’t Let Me Down

his is a very interesting set of songs.  Sinthesis is composed of Phaust on vocals, Phingaz on sounds. 10001 is a very old Sinthesis song.  Phorest rocks a super hot chorus – Vividend is in there cutting all this crazy stuff up.  (Bonus points to anyone who can name all his samples.)  And the beat is super sampled and heavy.  That was the old Sinthesis sound.  Phaust and I are hard at work comprising a new full length and tracks to boot that are more in line with Don’t Let Me Down. After many debates, Phaust and I have decided to get back to our roots.  Guitar, Blues, Big Drums and Rapping.  This song was written and recorded around election time – but this is more the sound that Sinthesis will be taking in the future.

Phingaz Presents: This Month in Sound (February)

This month I give you 3 instrumental jams featuring my guitar.

It’s Valentines Day – thus these songs get special dedications.

Thursday Nights – I used to work overnight every Thursday night at my job.  I was accompanied by the same four individuals.  I like to think we had fun.  So Bryce, Johnny Appleseed, Matty D. and Kylene Whit – This one’s for you.

She Dances Alone – Last year my immediate circle of friends received horridly harsh news.  Our dear friend Lisa passed away.  While I currently reside many states from her – my heart goes out to her family and everyone who knew and loved Lisa.  She was a dancer and this song is fitting - for you Lisa Layton Oakland.

Click Click Boom – I wrote this song about 2 years ago.  I wrote it in the aftermath of a newly blossomed love.  Lesley, my love and best friend – I dedicate this song to you for ‘shooting’ me down and starting our amazing journey.  I love you!

EVERYONE PLEASE ENJOY THIS MONTH IN SOUND!!!

Phingaz and Capaciti: Stop Signs & Gentle Kiss

A little background on this little ditty:

I met Capaciti within the first year of moving to MN.  I’ve recorded and been a part of many Capaciti projects since then.  We always talked about doing a whole album together – this was what came of those talks.  I made 10 beats for Cap and we dove head first in – Things got busy all around us – Time was lost and tracks were sold to other rappers and all we are now left with is these two gems.  Maybe one day we will tackle the full length again.  Maybe…

Until that time – download these!!
